also, i gave her a framed poem (not by me) a few years ago. it's one of the only things i've ever given her, and she really liked it a lot. she ended up putting it in the client bathroom. i really came to love seeing it there, and felt good like i took up some "space" in her home (office).

today, i saw that it was gone. there's another poem there, one that she's had for forever that used to be in the waiting area. so i looked around the waiting area to see if she had just switched the two, but it wasn't there either. when i got into session, i looked (as best/subtly as i could) to see if it was anywhere around, but didn't see it. and i didn't have the courage to ask. i'm sure it'll come up eventually; i foresee myself saying something like, "so now that i'm on sliding scale, you get rid of my poem?"
